Authenticity is Everything
Would appreciate opinions on this Mickey Mantle/Billy Martin photo.
My initial impression is that these signatures are not genuine, but....... it has a Gallen Sports Productions COA. Gallen was a promoter in the 80s and 90s if I remember. They would bring in a celebrity to sign for a fee (think Tristar today). I also know that their COAs are easily copied or forged. I would appreciate more knowledgeable opinions.

You uploaded it as a Word Doc, so it'll be hard for some here to open, but the Mickey Mantle is a common forgery style we see all the time.

Thanks Steve. I'm sorry for the Word Doc set up, I just cut & pasted from online. I'm glad I asked for help. Members here are good teachers!

No problem. You just won't get as many responses as you would otherwise. But if you've heard of the GAI certified Mickey Mantle forgeries, yours is the same style of forgery.

Those overly dramatic and overblown Ms are a hoot. The forger must have been very impressed with his "work." LOL
